It looks as though Prince Carl Phillip and Prince Daniel are wearing the order of the sword around the neck, just like the King, wasn't this order made dormant in the 70's?? or has it been reinstated and we (or at least i) haven't heard of the announcement yet?

thanks for the link, so according to the website its dormant, just as i thought,......so any ideas as to what the order around TRH's neck is? i dont think its a Portuguese order, wouldn't Victoria be wearing the female equivalent of it, as she usually does when receiving the 2nd class of an order
and if one looks at these two photos carefully, one would notice the neck orders the king and the princes are wearing are identical:http://bildarkiv.iblbildbyra.se/foto...3E70F262249E53
